I recently purchased one of these machines at a local church sale and was hoping someone here may have one and can help me with some questions.
It didn't come with instructions, but I managed to find partial instructions for a different Simac model and tried a recipe for strawberry ice cream.
I noticed that after about 10-15 minutes the mixture began to freeze up so much on the bottom that the blades stopped churning.
I turned off the freezer for a few minutes to loosen up the frozen areas and kept alternating between turning the freezer on and off for about 30 minutes until it was a soft- serve consistancy.
This doesn't seem normal as every review I have seen raves about how easy it is to use.
Does this sound like a problem with the machine or did I do something wrong?

Hmmmm, sorta makes me wonder why someone would donate it to a church sale.
As for the review... When I wrote software reviews for a business magazine, they never published a negative review. The philosophy was not to waste the reader's time with negative stuff. For me, that meant trying out several, sometimes more than a dozen, different software packages to find one I could say positive things about. The magazine received twenty-plus packages per month. The editor nagged me about my picky attitude. I figured out how much time I was wasting on junk software and quit. I don't even write book reviews, now.
